Robinson Cano No Longer A Yankee : (

When I first heard about Robinson Cano being traded to Seattle I was sad. I've been a big Cano fan since he first started on the team and I can't believe that he's going to play for Seattle. First of all I think New York City is one of the better cities to live in. When I think of Seattle all I can think of is rainy weather.

Now if I was sad about the trade I could only imagine how my baby sister was going to react. Since he's my favorite player he's also her favorite player as well. I was really nervous to tell her about it. She's only nine and she doesn't understand how money hungry these athletes and their manager's could be. With that being said when I did tell her she was heart broken and cried. She's a die hard Yankee fan and it sucks to see your favorite player go. I explained to her how baseball can be sometimes and she wasn't as upset anymore. All she said was "Who's going to be our favorite player now?". Which is a good question since Derek Jeter looks like he's probably going to retire 2014 and who knows who else will be traded.

A few days after hearing the news I saw Robinson Cano changed his picture on Facebook and thanked all his Yankee fans for all their support. He didn't have to do that and I was curious to see how the fans responded. OMG!!! The typical stereotype of the Yankee fans are that their cocky and assholes. Which I totally understand, I do think my team is the best and yes I get cocky sometimes when talking about my team. The comments I saw for Cano were horrific. I understand people are upset, but at the end of the day people will go where the money is.

Being loyal to a team is one thing, but at the same time Cano felt that he was worth more than what the Yankees were willing to offer him. I believe if any of those people who bad mouth him were in his position they too would leave the Yankees and go to whichever team pays more.

I'm upset about Cano leaving as, but that was his choice and I respect it. As an adult I feel that it's childish to bad mouth him. People look ridiculous doing so. Although I wish the Yankees didn't let him go I wish Cano nothing but the best. He'll always be one of my favorite players and I've already bought tickets to a Yankees and Mariners game.

Below are some funny pictures I found on Instagram. I couldn't help it and felt that it would be a good idea to end this blog with them.

Mariano Bobble Head Disaster

As most of you know last Thursday 9/30 was Mariano Bobble Head Night. What a joke that was.

First of all my boyfriend surprised me with the tickets because he knows I'm a big Yankee fan. It was a really sweet surprised. I usually hate surprises, but he did really good with this one. With him being a big Mets fan he did a really good thing by getting these tickets.

So after work that day I ran out so I could get to the game on time. I didn't even hear about the voucher's for the bobble heads. I wasn't concern with checking Facebook or Twitter. So since I work in the Wall Street area I took the 1 to the D because the 4 train always gets messed up whenever I take it going to a game. The 1 train got me to the D in no time. So when I got to the D everything was going fine and I thought wow for once I'm going to make the game on time. Boy was I wrong. When we got to 145th street the conductor said "Next time 161st street Yankee Stadium". Why is it that when we got to Yankee Stadium the stop was skipped and we went to the next express stop. How do you skip a stop? Obviously someone wasn't paying attention to their job. So instead of getting to the game on time I got there by 7:20PM thanks to the MTA.

Once I met my boyfriend he told me how crazy everything was and that there were no bobble heads, but he got a voucher for them. So I was like okay can't be that bad later on. So we got our food and ate then we went to our seats. At the game we got Nathan's and of course we got an order of their cheese fries. I swear their cheese fries are the best!!! Once we got to our seats about twenty minutes afterwards my boyfriend saw someone with a bobble head. Turns out they had just arrived so my boyfriend said he rather get them now instead of after the game. That was at the bottom of the 3rd inning. He didn't get back till the top of the 7th inning and that was about an hour and a half. H e was beyond pissed off. He said no one knew what they were doing and everything was disorganized. I was so happy that I didn't decided to go get them with him because I was tired and had a long day. I wouldn't have been a happy camper if I was on that line.

My boyfriend vowed to never come back to Yankee Stadium and I couldn't blame him. The marketing team should've implemented a better system. I've never seen or heard this kind of choas happen at any other stadium. I guess there's a first time for everything, but it sucks we had to experience it. Instead of having a nice date night, we weren't even with each other for most of our date.

I'm glad to hear that people who waited for those bobble heads will be getting free tickets to a game next year. If the fans weren't going to get anything back that would've been more messed up. Hopefully something like this doesn't happen again on any promotional night.

Daily Blog: Favorite Drink at a Baseball Game

Citifield has my favorite drink at a baseball game. Yup I really did just say that.

Since I'm a big beer drinker my favorite drink at Citifield. Although I am a big Yankees fan (and you can tell from my previous blogs) Citifield has Big Apple Brews located on the field level and the upper deck level. The one on field level is located a not too far from Shake Shack. The one on the upper deck level is located in the picnic area up there. Their Big Apple Brews has a very complete list of beers in my eyes. Whenever I got to a Mets game with my boyfriend I always get the Raspberry Shock Top.

Shock Top has become my new favorite Beligum wheat beer. I've also tried Slyfox Raspberry beer, but I like Shock Top's version of raspberry beer much better. I like wheat beer because it's a lighter beer and it's very smooth. I'm not a fan of dark beers, but I will drink them occasionally or when I am in the mood for one.

I've tried to get Raspberry Shock Top at other places I go to, but I can't find it. Looks like my best bet to get this beer is either at Citifield or at a beer distributor. Also at Big Apple Brews they have almost every kind of beer there.

So if you're a beer drinker like myself I would highly recommend getting your beers here when you go to the game. So if you go and try it please let me know how it goes. Not everyone is going to like it so drink at your own risk.

Happy Drinking!!!

Daily Blog: My Favorite 2013 Summer Memory

This summer has been very busy and hectic. My favorite summer memory has to be taking my baby sister to the Yankees game. I had taken her to a Sunday game and the Yankees were playing the Detroit Tigers. We've been to the Yankees game a bunch of times before, but this time around it just seemed more special.

Since Goldstar is my one of my favorite websites to get discounted tickets that's where I went to purchase them. I bought tickets in the 400 section. Since with Goldstar you don't know where you're sitting our chances of sitting in the nosebleeds were 50/50. The tickets we got were in the nose bleed section in section 413. If you're afraid of heights these seats would be a problem for you.  We were all the way up there. (The last time I sat up there was two years ago for The Big Four Concert.) Although the view was still great we wanted to be a bit closer to the game.

By the bottom of the 5th inning we went to get dipping dots. I got cookie dough and my sister decided to get rainbow. My sister is nine years old and she thought it tasted good. I thought it had no flavor whatsoever and wasn't much of a fan of it. While eating our dipping dots I noticed that the outfield section in the 300s were pretty empty. There were plenty of seats there. The only bad thing was the sun was out in full effect and you would roast sitting that section. I ran it by my sister and she was all for it, but I reminded her that the security guard might not let us. She insisted we still try anyway.

So after walking to the other end of the stadium we got there and I asked the security guard if we could sit in the empty seats. At first he seemed very skeptical about letting us sit there, but then he gave in and said go ahead. My sister and I were thrilled and we sat there the remainder of the game.

The fun didn't stop there though. After watching the Yankees win, we went out for an early dinner at a sushi restaurant in Queens. The restaurant is right across the street from Queens Center Mall. We went to Tomo Japanese Cafe (89-14 Queens Blvd) which is one of my family's favorite sushi restaurants to go to. During dinner we had the whole nine years, appetizers, there sushi rolls each and dessert.

It was a very eventful day and one that we both enjoyed so much. Since my baby sister is so much younger than me I love to spoil her whenever I get the chance and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Recap of the Weekend, Friday June 14th

Since I was really busy last weekend each day is getting their own blog. It's great to keep busy because then I'll have more things to write about, but the biggest problem I have is finding the time to write. Therefore I realize I'll have delays from time to time, but will try to avoid it if I can.

So of course my weekends starts at 1PM every Friday. I make sure I come in to work early and get everything off my plate. I hate having to start the week with things to do from the previous week.

After work I rushed home because I had a long day ahead of me. I was to take my baby sister out for sushi, take her home then go to a Mets game with my boyfriend. After the game the band Foreigner was performing. It all worked out at the end though.

So for lunch I went to Queens Center Mall to eat sushi at Kido Sushi. you sit at either a table or sushi bar and there's a conveyor belt that has all the sushi dishes on them. The prices go by the color of the plate. The cheapest plate is the white plate at $2 and the most expensive plate are the oranges ones at $6. They also offer regular rolls too, but I wanted to try all the fatty rolls on the belt. Some of them were deep fried or had more than one fish in the roll. This wasn't the first time I've eaten sushi like this. I went to a restaurant like this a long time ago when I went to Australia. So I was familiar with the concept of the place. Once my sister and I got full we left the mall so I could take her home. It was a nice afternoon lunch spent with her. I would've put up a picture, but we were so hungry that we forgot to take them.

Once I dropped her at home I had to get ready for the Mets game. I didn't get there too late, but my boyfriend is the type who likes to be at places an hour before it starts. When I finally got to the game it was about 6:30PM and the game started at 7:10PM.

Once at Citifield we got pulled pork sandwiches from Blue Smoke. The sandwich was about $8, but it was worth it. They had the right amount of pork on it and you really did get your money's worth. After eating our sandwiches we went to the big beer stand on the upper deck level. I tried this raspberry wheat beer that Top Shock makes and it was amazing. So far this is my favorite raspberry flavored beer. So after eating and getting our beers we went to our seats to watch the game. We didn't stay in our seats during the whole game of course we walked around and got more snacks and did some shopping. I got cookie dough dipping dots, but next time I'm getting cookies & cream because there was very little cookie dough in the cup I got. That day the Mets were playing against the Cubs and unfortunately they lost the game.

Duane Reade sponsors the Summer Concerts that they have after the game and as you're waiting for it to begin they tell you to go down to any available seats in your section for the concert. It took about twenty minutes for the stage to get set up and Foreigner was pretty good. I only knew a couple of songs, but it was definitely a good time. Hopefully Yankee Stadium does some Summer Concerts, that'd be really good. The next Summer Concert at Citifield is July 19th and if you're a fan of hip hop you'll want to go to this one. Nas is going to be performing after the game, and growing up I've listened to him, so you know I'm going to try and get tickets to that game just for the concert. It's worth going because the concert lasts about an hour and a half, so that's not bad at all.

That was my Friday night in a nutshell. Saturday was just as busy and hopefully this summer I'll be able to do everything on my bucket list. If only summer could last a little longer, but I think it might this year since it took awhile for the weather to get warm.

I hope you enjoyed the blog : )
